What Is the Treatment Approach for Uremia in Children?
Treating uremia involves addressing the underlying cause and managing symptoms. For children with CKD, this might include medications like angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers to manage blood pressure and reduce proteinuria. In cases of AKI, treatment may involve ensuring adequate hydration and discontinuing nephrotoxic medications. Dialysis may be necessary for severe cases of uremia to remove waste products from the blood. Kidney transplantation is considered for children with end-stage renal disease.
